MATHCOUNTS is a national math coaching and
competition program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students created and run by the
National Society of Professional Engineers, the National Council for Teachers of
Mathematics, and the CNA Insurance Company. Participation in the program is
through your school. MATHCOUNTS provides an opportunity for students to have fun
while exploring areas of math that they may not see in their normal class
curriculum. It also gives students a chance to be recognized for their
achievements on both team and individual bases.
MATHCOUNTS has two major programs: the Competition Program and the Club Program.
In the Competition Program, schools receive math problems and activities that
they can use to prepare for regional (chapter) competitions in February. Winning
teams and individuals at the regional competitions advance to compete in the
state competition in Boise in March. The top 4 individuals and the coach of the
winning team from the state competition receive an all-expense-paid trip to
Orlando, Florida to represent Idaho in the MATHCOUNTS National Competition in
May.
In the Club Program (which is free), schools are provided the structure,
activities, and problems they can use to form a math club. Participating schools
are eligible for prize drawings.
Information on the Idaho MATHCOUNTS program is shown below. A link to the
national MATHCOUNTS web site is at the bottom of this page.
